Abstract (en)

An objective lens in an electron microscope is adapted to detection of Auger electrons. Using an additional lens field, preferably including the use of a VAIL lens, the electrons to be detected are spiraled to a selection space. Between the lens field and the selection space a preferably displaceable, magnetic diaphragm is arranged for the separation of lens fields.
